Description: A diagram of Uranus's entire moon system and ring system: bottom panel: The outer irregular moons of Uranus, with a scale of 1 pixel = 40,000 km. all known outer moons are individually listed. They are graphed by their inclination, as well as the closest/furthest points in their orbit from Uranus (periapsis and apoapsis) second panel: The main moon system of Uranus, with a scale of 1 pixel = 4,000 km. Although Uranus's middle moons can be resolved, the inner moons and its rings are still difficult to resolve third panel: The middle moon system of Uranus, with a scale of 1 pixel = 400 km. Many of its main moons are obvious but its rings and inner moons are far too close to the planet to tell apart.

top panel: The innermost moons of Uranus, with a scale of 1 pixel = 40 km. The rings of Uranus are labeled in grey, and the inner moons are labeled in white.
